  Fantastic. I’ve lived locally for the past 9 years and this has been the best that I have experienced during that period.I have seen many come and go, Fish Works, Giraffe, Entree and the Mexican now Cornish Tiger just among the few and tried all the rest that still exist. But these guys are special and having been fortunate enough to eat in some of the worlds finest restaurants I would happily include this among them. Everything from the friendly casual service, impecably tasting and presented food to the reasonable bill at the end make this my favourite restaurant in the area if not for the time been London.

  Now before anyone lays into me after my last post in this area, i must confirm that i am, as the title says, in Battersea (but just around the corner from Clapham). The newest addition to this up and coming foodie area is Sinabro, from Michelin star trained head chef and owner, Yoann Chevet. Yoann is French and worked in both Michelin star restaurants across Paris and the UK over his career. With the restaurant boom in the UK not looking like its going to be settling down anytime soon, he’s decided to bring his French ‘Gastronomique’ (his words not mine) style cooking to London.Battersea and Clapham, especially around the common area is becoming a new gastronomic hotspot. With the likes of The Dairy round the corner, modern Indian Zumbura and satisfying Dip & Flip this is starting to become a real foodie destination area. With the arrival of Sinabro, things really are starting to heat up, with this potentially being one of Battersea’s smartest and coolest restaurant openings this year.After a quick chat with our lovely host and waitress for the evening. A plate of daily baked bread, amuse bouche and our starter of green pea veloute, herb cream and crouton arrived – the ingredients speak for themselves alone. It was a beautiful bowl of food which showcased every ingredient put into it. Smoothly textured and a vibrant pea flavour was softened by the creamy herb sauce. Each spoonful was an absolute delight and one which i could practically live off, it was utterly delicious and difficult to find fault.As much addictive goodness could be said for our other starter. Beautifully executed mackerel, cooked to the point of perfect juiciness, a stunning beetroot puree and a small bundle of fresh spinach. It was a very palatable dish which although felt and looked like summer, was still a heart warming dish. My only main concern was the portion size, which failed to satisfy me.Once we moved our way onto the main courses, things really started to get a little more serious. But portion sizes didn’t. An absolute stunning piece of of lamb belly, if not also incredibly small, had so much flavour – like nothing I’ve experience from lamb in a long time. Soft, juicy, crispy – it had just about every texture going for it possible. A smear of tarragon and courgette sauce and a heavenly jus – this was an absolutely stunning dish without a doubt – but where had half of it gone?On balance my next dish couldn’t have been more perfectly sized. A gorgeous piece of brilliant white coley whose every piece of flesh separated with the touch of my fork. Crispy fried skin and a celeriac puree to-die-for accompanied. The plate was finished off with a sprinkling of black olive powder, a light sauce and coriander. The dish was so incredibly light, cooked to such perfection – it left you feeling as if the doors outside this cool and calm restaurant would lead to a sunny beach somewhere exotic – instead i was on a steep, wind swept hill in Battersea.Hungry?
